Angry Can't delete a folder! :(

I've got a folder that reappears every time I reboot. I delete it, and it's gone.... Then I reboot, and it comes back!!!

I HATE IT! please help me get rid of this annoying thing!

I'm guessing it's the "System Volume Information" folder, but that's hidden unless you change the viewing settings.

no, it's just a folder on in 'my documents' that i made. it's nothing special - it was for a friend's data that is now deleted. no hidden files.

Are you sending it to the Trashcan Bin or *truly* deleting it?

Sounds like for some reason you don't have permission to delete it. Look under it's properties and see if you see something there.
